Meniscus tear physiotherapy is a targeted treatment aimed at recovering from a tear in the knee’s meniscus. It focuses on reducing pain, improving knee strength, stability, and flexibility, and restoring full range of motion. Treatment typically involves specific exercises to strengthen the muscles around the knee, manual therapy, and techniques to reduce swelling and promote healing, allowing for a safe return to normal activities while preventing further injury.
A typical session may include:
Your second consultation, scheduled shortly after the initial visit, offers an opportunity for feedback and questions. A streamlined re-evaluation is conducted through a physical assessment. Subsequent consultations are geared towards supporting your recovery and achieving optimal outcomes for your pain or injury.
The time frame for improvement varies depending on the individual’s condition and response to therapy. Some may notice improvements within a few sessions, while others might need a longer period of consistent therapy.
Wearing comfortable clothing and shoes that allow for movement is recommended. Review our guide on what to what to wear to a physio appointment for more specific recommendations.
It’s also helpful to bring a list of your current medications and a summary of your medical history, including any diagnostic tests related to your vestibular condition.
There are no cancellation fees or 24-hour notice requirements. Just give us a call if you can’t make it to your appointment.
A doctor’s referral is typically not required to visit us unless your condition is associated with Workers Compensation, Motor Vehicle Injury, Veterans Affairs, or a Medicare Enhanced Primary Care plan.
